This is the Reaction Shell (68) installed
with a new Thrust Washer (67). This washer is copper plated and could gall
against the steel so plenty of goop (the tranny fluid/vasoline mixture) is used. |
 |
This is a look at the Input carrier assy (60),
the input internal gear (62), and the reaction carrier shaft (64). |
 |
The installation is fairly straight forward
here, it's just taking the time and making sure everything is mated correctly to
the corresponding parts. The picture shows the top of the input internal gear (62). |
 |
Once the above procedure is done, the Output
Shaft (86) is installed through the back of the transmission and the attaching
Output Shaft Snap Ring (59) is installed and double checked to make sure it locked. |
 |
Here is a view of the 3-4 plate assy (52)
soaking in transmission fluid. All the friction material parts should be soaked
first for at least a half hour to help with the first time start up operations.
If these pieces are left dry, they would probably stick to their corresponding
plates and then the instant they were engauged would shed the material off and
circulate through the system finishing off an already ruined transmission. |
 |
Here is a view of the Input Housing (21) with
the 3-4 Clutch Piston (23), 3-4 Clutch Apply Ring (25), 3-4 Clutch Spring Assy (26),
Forward Clutch Housing (28), Forward Clutch Piston (30), and the Overrun Clutch Piston (32)
installed with the Overrun Clutch Spring Assy (34) and the Snap Ring (35) locked in
after the unit is placed in the press and compressed down. Again, lots of goop is
used on the new seals to make assemby and break in hastle free. |
 |
Again this is where the special tools come
in. We have installed the Reverse Input Clutch Plate Assy (12), and the Reverse
Input Backing Plate (13). In the middle you can see the Clutch Spring Assy (9). |
 |
At this point, we have installed, measured
clearances, and double checked everything in the Input Housing (21) up to the
Forward Clutch outer race (42). Next will be another clutch pack. |
 |
Some components look just like others but
have to be installed in a certain order so extreme care and attention to detail
is critical. At this point, one of the installed Forward Clutch Plate Assy (47)
components is a Waved Plate (46) This looks just like the others except for an
intentional bend in 4 areas of the plate to simulate kind of a flat spring. Putting
this in the wrong place would create disastrous results. |
 |
Finally I install all the frictions plates and
hardware up to the 3-4 Clutch Backing Plate (53) and finally the 3-4 Clutch
Snap Ring (54). |
